This Office Memorandum addresses the regulation of tenure for officers on Central Deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme, specifically concerning cadre clearance for appointments to Non-Central Staffing Scheme (Non-CSS) posts. It clarifies that once a No-Objection/cadre clearance is granted by the State Government/Cadre Controlling Authority for additional tenure within seven years, it will be considered a general permission, irrespective of whether the clearance was initially for a specific post. This revised policy aims to streamline the process and takes prospective effect.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Regulation of tenure of the officers on Central Deputation under Central Staffing Scheme
– seeking Cadre Clearance for appointments to Non-CSS posts on ‘shift’ basis –
regarding [Group ‘A’ Series]
As per the Consolidated Deputation Guidelines circulated vide DoP&T’s OM No. AB-
14017/2/2007-Estt. (RR) dated 29.02.2008, the provision below Para 1.2 states that “if an officer
moves from a Central Staffing Scheme post to a non-Central Staffing Scheme post, or vice-
versa, she/he shall be eligible for an additional tenure of two years, subject to at least two years
on either post.”
- It was subsequently decided vide this Department’s OM No. 31/20/2008-EO(MM-I) dated
09.03.2012 to make it necessary to obtain cadre clearance from the parent cadre for a shift from
a Central Staffing Scheme post to a Non-Central Staffing Scheme post and vice versa as this
entails an additional two years of central deputation. -
In this regard, it has been observed that the State Governments/Cadre controlling
Authorities are giving post-based cadre clearance and if an officer is not selected for that post
and wishes to apply again, she/he has to again seek a fresh cadre clearance. -
In view of above, the Competent Authority has now decided that once No-Objection /
cadre clearance has been conveyed by the State Government/Cadre Controlling Authority for
additional tenure within seven years, it would be treated as a general permission for the period
rather than against any particular post. It would be treated as such not-withstanding the fact that
the State Government/ Cadre Controlling Authority may have given the clearance for a specific
post. -
These instructions take prospective effect.
